one day i wish to have them(the white hms)....my goal is to have all the transformers one day. i dunno if that will ever happen. if you have time, check out my collection. its not as nice as yours but im closer to my goal.

Hi Puffmarko, your collection is great too. VSX!! One of those that I am still hunting for to complete my collection. Great work!

Hi SureShot90, personally I prefer Takara versions mainly for the styrofoam inserts, thus making the boxes sturdier. Hasbro versions in mint conditions are hard to find. Normally mint ones (MISB) are sent for AFA grading. Once after AFA grading, the prices tend to be too high for me
You have a wonderful range of Transformers. Keep it up

hotspot17 - Thanks for welcoming me. You have yourself a fantastic collection as well.

puffmarko - You are too humble. There are always more powerful collectors here. Yours is wonderful as well.

I was hoping to complete the entire Japanese collection by end of the year, but it looks like I have to extend it to another year though. Good things are hard to come by, thus it is also good for me to take a break after spending so much on them

Yup that is correct, an american box in decent shape is hard to come by, but as long it isn't "trash" I'm ok with it.
And yea I've spread my collection a bit. I took advantage of the fact that now I can collect MOSC/MISB TF's from newer lines since I now am so priviliged to collect them at their original retail price. Back in the 80ties as a kid it was limited what I could/would get... now I primarily get my G.1's loose, but if I can make a good deal for MIB or even MISB I do that... well only MISB I have are Turbomaster Thunderclash and Predator Skystalker from Europe's G.1 line.

But it's great to see since a nice collection of that caliber you got there ! keep it up !
